Thank you! **Security Report** The following are some of the incidents that Security responded to from October 29 to Novemeber 11,1996. HARASSING/OBSCENE PHQNE CALLS Security investigated four complaints of harassing or obscene phone calls from October 28 until November 10,1996. If you are the victim of harassing or obscene phone calls, you should report the inci dents to Security immediately. Security works with the Telecommunications Of fice to have calls traced, or, in some in stances, to have the student's phone num ber changed to an unlisted on-campus number to avoid further harassment. VANDALISM An off-duty student security guard's car was vandalized while it was parked in the lower parking lot of the Student Apartments. The windshield was cracked by an unknown object. Estimated cost of repairs for the vehicle is $200.00. Security responded to a reported van dalism in Bryan Hall. A suite door in Bryan was kicked open. The lock and knob were both broken. There are no sus pects in this case. Security responded to reported vandal ism at the varsity soccer field. A tower on the soccer field, near New Garden Friends School appears to have been chopped down with an axe. Value of the tower was $400.00. The Guilfordian niKfrfcQQHOL RELATED VIOLA TIONS Security investigated two alcohol re lated incidents. The second involved a student who was observed drinking beer in an unauthorized area. When con fronted by Security personnel it was dis covered that the student was not of the legal age to consume alcohol. In North Carolina, one must be 21 years of age to drink or purchase beer, wine, mixed beverages, or liquor. Guilford students are expected to abide by this state law. Judicial charges are pending in both cases. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON GUILFORD'S SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY, ALL STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ PAGES 21 AND 22 OF THE STUDENT HAND BOOK. SECURITY SAFETY TIP: Do not walk alone in the dark hours of the night. With the weather becom ing increasingly colder we tend not to be as aware of our surroundings when trying to get out of the cold. Security encourages all members of the Guilford community to call us for an escort. We are open and available 24 hours a day, seven days and nights a week. If you do choose to walk at night, bundle up with a friend! Security can be reached at 316- 2909 or by dialing "0" from any cam- news Fall Preview Day showcases Guilford IRENE KELLY staff writer We all came to Guilford for dif ferent reasons. Some of us knew right from the start that Guilford was where we wanted to be and others of us needed to visit first and maybe spend the night to really get a feel for the school. Whatever convinced us that Guilford was the right school, there is now a new program for per spective students who come to visit Guilford for "fall preview day". This year "preview day" was held on Sat urday, November 10. Fall preview day is part of a stan dard format for students who want to look into Guilford. According to Dean of Admissions A 1 Newell it is "one option for showcasing the college." It all started on Saturday morn ing with breakfast and informal chats between prospective students, their parents, and both students and fac i• -J 1 T class. • Films show Latin American culture STAFF REPORTS Three international films that focus on Latin American women are being presented at Guilford during the month of November. These films, part of the 1996 Latin Ameri can Film Festival sponsored by the Guilford College Intercultural Studies Program and the Duke-University of North Carolina Pro gram in Latin American Studies, are free and open to the public. All films will start at 7:40 p.m. in the Leak Room of Duke Me morial Hall. On Monday, November 11, Serpientes y Escaleras (1992, Spanish with English sub titles) was shown. This drama, produced in Mexico, centers on the 1950s friendship of two wealthy provincial girls and depicts a tale of seduction and infidelity, intimacy and melancholy. Through the classic Mexican game of "chance and destiny," this film by acclaimed director Busi Cortess seeks to portray women of another time. Patricia Torres, a film director, introduced the film. So You Wanna Save The Planet? But you don't want to carry that full recycling bag all the way to the dumpsters~ Well Community Senate has a plan for you! • Place your full green recycling bags outside of your room or suite every Sunday afternoon between 2 and 3 pm. • The bags will be picked up by a group of concerned students between 3 and 4 pm. • You can mix all of your recyclables in one container. • New green bags will be left under your door when the full ones are collected. • All we ask is that you not put your bags out before 2 pm on Sunday, as they are considered a safety hazard. This program starts next Sunday, November 24. November 15,1996 ulty. Don McNemar and A 1 Newell then led panel discussions for half an hour on topics concerning Guilford. Afterwards a new element was added to the day. "Since the teach ing and learning at Guilford is a plus, we decided to present it to stu dents," says A 1 Newell, "Unfortu nately there are no Saturday classes so we had to make some for the stu dents." Admissions started this idea last spring with visiting students who had already been accepted and de cided to try the idea again. This meant making class sessions, 13 dif ferent ones in all, and placing stu dents in the classes according to what they listed as their academic interests. These mock classes included titles such as 'New Technology and Language Learning,' offered by the language dept., 'Sound, Science and Serendipity,' by the physics dept., 'Sport for Hire,' by the Sport Stud ies dept., and 'What is Dramatic,' by the theater studies dept. to name only a few. For those of us who remember the old days, it sounds like a fresh idea that makes visiting colleges a lot more fun. According to senior Keith O'Halloran, "I remember when I looked at Guilford a couple of years back. I didn't get a chance to attend any classes. This sounds like it gives students the opportunity to really see what Guilford is about." Afterwards there were campus tours and lunch in the Carnegie room. Faculty were there again to answer any stray questions which might be on people's minds. The day ended at 3pm and students were en couraged to make an overnight visit to really get a feel for Guilford and to get a chance to go to an actual UPCOMING FILMS... Saturday, November 16: Yo, la Peorde Todas (1992, Spanish, no subtitles). Based on the novel by Octavio Paz, this Argentineann film deals with the life of a Mexican nun, Sor Juana Ines de las Cruz, who remains in many ways an enigma to those who read her poetry and essays. Thursday, November 21: A Hora da Estrela (1986, Portuguese with English sub titles). Macabea is a young woman from the countryside of northeast Brazil who moves to the sprawling slums of Sao Paul. The mix ture of bitter reality and gentle, humorous fantasy has been compared with the works of Fellini and Chaplin. Directed by Suzana Amaral, the film was a winner at the Berlin Film Festival.
